hormone panel advice

[AsEpSiS]

I've used ************* in the past with great results. Each time I ordered the male hormone panel with complete metabolic and sensitive estrogen essay. This test costs 170$. In efforts to save a little cash, I was thinking about getting the female hormone panel for 60$.

Can I get some advice on whether I should get the female test, or just suck it up and pay for the male version?

Also, what's the difference between the sensitive estrogen essay from the male test and the estrogen reading from the female test?

How to get accurate testosterone level results on blood work

Read this. Well put together post.

The female hormone panel should be fine for pre cycle and post cycle bloods. If you want to get accurate testosterone levels or thyroid panels done, refer to the link Kel posted. A sensitive assay for estradiol will be slightly more accurate but many get by with the normal female assay.
